Instructor assumes Housing position

by Jon Lothenore
Cal Baptist graduate and Behavioral Science instructor Mary Pomroy
will assume the post of Women's
Housing Diredctor on Monday, February 15. The post has bee vacated
by Kitty Campbell, who has served
as director since July, 1986.
Pomroy is a native of the Sacramento area. She graduated from Cal
Baptist in 1981, B.S. Psychology,
and again in 1984, M.S. Marriage,
Family, Child Counseling. Since
then, she has beem employed as an
instructor in the Behavioral Science
Department here at Cal Baptist; currently, Pomroy still conducts the
Group Dynamics course. Also practicing psychology at Moreno Valley
Psychological Services, Pomroy is
pursuing her Ph.D. in Psychology.
"I'm really looking forward to
working with the Student Life
Staff," confided Pomroy, who has already begun her duties in the Women's Residence Hall. "I'm already enjoying the time spent with the Simmon's R.A. Staff," she continued,
"and I'm excited about the semester."
Other than psychology, Pomroy's
interests lie iin travel, having visited
Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Canada, the Bahamas, and 38 states.
Most important, however, is her engagement to 1981 Cal Baptist graduate Mark Curts. The ceremony is
set for August 6, 1988. Curts is an
M.R.E. student at Southwestern
Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX.
Vacating the post, Kitty Campbell, and husband Stan, are leaving
Southern California for Tennessee to
accept a call in a church there. She
related that both she "and Stan are
grateful to this college and to the
college's constituency." Campbell
explained that although her husband
in changing jobs, she "would have
left anyway." Her current pursuits
include completion of her Ph.D. in
History.
"I love the girls in this dorm,"
Campbell said, but she hopes that
the administration will learn how to
treat the student leaders here at Cal
Baptist. She went on to say that she
has become worried over recent stu-
SEVEN LEAVE POSITIONS
By Don Alexander
It's a not-so-pretty sight: A young
man sits on the hood of his car with
a sign that reads: "Help, I need a job,
my family is starving-sincerely a
Cal. Baptist Alumni."
Well, you decide, the situation may
not be that bad, but when seven people whom we deeply admire and love
CALIFORNIA
BAPTIST-COLLEGE
are layed off permanently over inter-
term we must at least ask why.
Seen by many as a cruel decision,
the budget cuts may instead enhance
our current budget situation, and
then again, maybe not. More then
likely though, we have seen something done that will keep us from
building up a gigantic deficit in the
near future.
"Basically, the change resembles a
home budget-situation" says Vice
President for Public Affairs Tom
Hixon, "where we must balance our
budget, or possibly face not paying
our bills, or miss a payroll."
Although the school currently has
$31 million in assets, the problem
lies in the day to day cash flow. We
simply do not have enough funds.
Currently we are operating with expenditures of 50.17% and revenue of
47.26%. Our budget deficit was at
$728,545.49 at the end of last year.
"the change resembles
a home-budget
situation..."
iifai figure involves a total of 3 pre-
vous years.
When asked about the funds used to
renovate the President's office, Hixson replied, "It did not look like a
Presidents office-it looked like
something you would have in your
home, it definitely needed remodel-
ing.
Hixson was also asked weather he
felt the funds could be used in any
other area, to which he replied: "No,
absoltely not, there was no other
place."
The employees who were relieved
of duty were given two weeks severance pay, in order to have money
while they searched for a new job.
Money had to be cut from the budget; some $150,000 dollars from
personnel, and the rest from travel,
postage, and etc,.
That was probably better than just
being told, "we're gonna lay you off
in two weeks."
The current trustee meeting yielded
a motion that may echo the current
budget cuts affecting employees. It
stated: "We must balance the budget,
but not at all cost." The trustees do
not want to see us take a step backwards.
These who were layed off are some
of the best people we know. Their
feelings are important to all of us,
and this is a difficult situation for
them to face. Fairness seems to take
a back seat when it comes to being
laid off.
At least the decision was not made
without concern. Mr. Hixson states-
"There were very few days that I did
not think about it, and hate what I
was going to do."
dent discipline situations here. And
while she does wish the students the
best, Campbell expressed a hope for
the college to trest its students more
like adults. Campbell is nonetheless
satisfied concerning the year and an
half that she has spent here. Her resignation was effective February 13.
Socratic Club slates
plethora of events
Currently the most active club on
campus, the Cal Baptist Socratic
Club has a plethora of events, both
academic and entertainment, scheduled for the Spring sememster. In
addition to the continuing student
service of "No Exit", the club has
planned further film festivals, poetry
readings, chess events, the UCI
Dance Troupe, forums on the presidential candidates for '88, a lecture
on nuclear energy, and an evening of
Avant garde performance art.
Beginning tomorrow evening, February 13, right after dinner, "No
Exit" will host a film festival on
"Saints, Old and New" including an
academic discussion of the sainthood and its place in Protestantism
lead by a local Anglican priest. Further films festivals, about one per
month, will include "The Best in
Modem, Easily-Stomached Horror,"
and the long-awaited Hitchcock Festival.
Also up-and-coming on the clubs
calendar is "An Evening of Avant
Garde Performance Art" to be held in
teh BOL, on Feb. 19, 7:30p.m. The
evening will include music, poetry,
performance art, and drama.
For the fourth consecutive year, the
Socratic Club will host the UCI
Dance Troupe in May. Hailed as
one of the top five travelling dance
teams in America, the troupe will return to Cal baptist at the end of their
spring tour. Dr. Janice Plastino, director of the troupe, remarked that
"CBC is one of the best audiences
we dance for; probably the most intelligent questions come from these
students." Though not yet finally
scheduled, the event will be held, as
always, in the Gym.
The other events for the semester
are in the process of planning and
scheduling, check into "No Exit",
open 9:30 to 3:30 daily, for details.
Screen actor and director
to conduct workshop
The roar of the crowd, the screams
of the fans, and the glitz of Hollywood can all be yours. Experienced
television and screen actor and director Ray Girardin will conduct an
eight-week workshop in Television
and Film Acting techniques for serious students in Riversinde soon.
